A copy of this alleged agreement hae
come to the attention of officials here.
It dates back to 1»02, when General Le
Conte waa minister of finance and a
candidate to succeed President Simon.
Its provisions have suoh striking Im

That German capitalists have long

FOR BIG REDUCTION!!
Washington, July 25,—An average re
daction of 40 per cent In the present
rates on cotton goods la provided for
la tha cotton schedule revision bill
which was presented to the Democratic
caucus by the majority members of the
ways and means committee of the
house this afternoon.
A summary of tha bill presented by
Chairman Underwood states that there
will be a lost of 11.000,000 In the reve
nue under the Democratic plan of re
vision. The RYenuo from cotton man
ufacture* for the year ending June 10,
1110. waa flM73.801.20. Under the
proposed bill the Democrat* cellmate
that the revenues for a year will be
fl0.80t.000.
The cotton bill substitutes ad valo
rem rates for specifics In each Instance.
Under the Payne law the average
equivalent ad valorem rate waa 41.1!
per cent. Under the bill presented to
the caucus today tha average ad va
lorem la only 27.Of per rent, a reduc
tion of about forty per cent all along
the line.
Chairman Underwood aald that he
did not believe there would be much
discussion on the measure In the house
and that he expects the hill to pass
within the week after Its Introduction.
tutlon.. The existing charier Is politi
cal In character, and a proposition to
merge or amalgamate the two would be
about as successful as the attempt to
amalgamate fire amt water or to have
a half dog and a half rat.
“A majority 'of the business, non*
political element of the city hts shown
a desire to see the city conducted upon
business principles under a commlaslon
charter. A very largo per cent of this
clement has evidenced this In writing,
and no one has the authority or power
to disregard this expressed wish. If
they had the authority, no human be
ing could merge the two charter*. It Is
one or the other. Either Inefficient po
litical mismanagement for the future os
It now exists and hna existed on the
one hand, or proper, dlreot, responsible
business administration on the other.
It Is up to the people to take their
choice."
Impossible, Say* Maddox.
Robert F. Maddox says:
"The two syxteme of government-
one known as tho commission govern
ment plan and the other the present
plan, under whloh Atlanta now oper
ates, having the etty controlled by rep-
reeentatlves from the various wants
and its affair* conducted under board
management—are so diametrically op
posed to each other that 1 do not see
how It Is poeetble to have them com
bined. One le simply a business meth
od of conducting the affairs of the city
and putting the people In control of Its
affairs, and the other Is to continue the
present management thru wnrd elec
tlons and board management.
"8o far as I know, the two plans of
government have never •urnesafully
been combined, and I do not believe It
would be possible to combine them In
Atlanta.
"The Important question of whether
or not Atlanta shall continue to oper
ate Ita affairs along the present lines
or elect five competent, progressive
cltlsena to run Ita affairs In a business,
like way, le clean and clear rut, and l
believe the people of Atlanta should
have tut opportunity, after a full, free
and friendly discussion of the two
plans, to decide at the Imllot box which
one of the two they prefer to adopt.'*
“No," Say* F. J. Faxon,
"Either adopt the commission char
ter or refuse It,” says Colonel F. J.
Paxon. "I think It Is for the best In
terest of Atlantn to adopt It. and t v
the people to express their wish.
“More than 1,000 voters want the
people to express their wish. Our rep
resentatives do not represent the city
council, but the whole city. Which de
serves moat consideration, 3,000 voters
or thirteen councilman?
A compromise ts impossible. We do
not ask our representative* to commit
themselves for.or against the proposed
charter. All we ask Is that they give
the people a chance to register their
will. .
If a compromise were attempted,
who would decide It? Committees from
city officials and the advocates of com
mission government could not reach an
agreement In years. This Is a matter

Councilman John E. McClelland Join
ed Alderman Warren In urging that
this saving be made for the city.
Compromised Anyway.
Judge f'nndler made another speech
from the chair, saying that tho com
mittee report would bring about peace,
he believed. Alderman Kelloy aald If
It would bring about peace, he would
vote for It.
The report had been signed by Judge
f'nndler, Mayor Winn and Councilman
Evlna, tho Councilman Hvlns, In an
swer to a question by Alderman War
ren, aald that he waa not present at the
meeting.
The vote was for the committee re
port: Kelley, Johnson, Maddox, Ever
ett, Hprntllng, Von Dyke, Hatcher,
Vaughan, Johnston, Nutting. Dent, An
drews, Evlne, Minor, Chambers and
Baker.
The Insurgents were: Warren. Mc
Clelland, Guess, Greer and Btoy.
But all during the meeting the prear
ranged plans were adopted. Council
was atnnrilng together. The sensational
was being avoided. Alderman War
ren's act was easily nn Insurrection.
But his efforts were killed without ar
guments, a method councilman fre-
quently resort to. They quietly voted
him down this time.
Candler the Anti Leader.
Chairman of the charter revision
rommlttee and the commltlee that han.
died the cemetery proposition was Al
derman Candler. On the door of coun
cil, whenever things took a significant
turn, was Alderman Candler, and when
everything was running smoothly he
sat ns the presiding officer.
Alderman Candler has taken the lead
more than ever before during his career
aa a city official. Circumstance* have
temporarily thrust upon him the duties
of mayor. All natural causes point to
him as the leader of the antl-commls-
slon forces. ,
Only once more was the program of
the evening threatened. It was when
the resignation of Judge E. C. Konts
ns a member of the board of education
from the Eighth want was read. Al
derman Van Dyke, of the Eighth ward,
Immediately moved that It be accepted.
Councilman McClelland, of the Sec
ond ward, made a motion that a spe
cial committee be appointed to request
a withdrawal of the resignation. Coun
cilman Evlns, also of the Eighth ward.

Calling For the Police

Mr. C. H. Mitchell, who resides at
307 Formwalt-st., and has been a mem
ber of the force In Atlanta for the past
ten years and for some time past has
been a member of the Broadway squad,
a position which requires a man with a
clear head, active and ever on the alert,
for the lives of thousands of little chil
dren. aged and unprotected pedestrians,
passing to and fro, would be trampled to
death or run over hy cars or autos on
these busy street corners only for the
timely and ever gallant attention of
the policeman. Mr. Mitchell Is a very
modest man. who does not care for
much pomp or display, and has always
enjoyed fairly good health, up until
about one year ago, when he com
menced to have a form of stomach
trouble; nothing to cause alarm, but a
soreness, a nauseated feeling, especially
after eating. At times he had a ravenous
appetite: again the sight of food would
make him sick. At night when he lay
down he would have a smothering, and
many times would have to get up. For
the past two or three months he has
had more or less headache, sometimes
over the eyes: again It w$>uld be In
the back of the head, very annoying
and causing him to be nervous, but
that choking he had at night caused
him more alarm than anything else. He
did not feel as though he could afford
to lay off, and as he would have a vaca
tion In July he decided to stick It out
until then, and then have hla family
physician look after his health. But he
was recommended to go and see Gray,
the Quaker Health Teacher, who has
been at Coursey & Munn's drug store,
179 Martetts-st„ for the past two and
"ne-half months, and get a bottle of the
Quaker Herb Extract that was curing
so many people of stomach trouble.
Some was caused from catarrh, some
expelled monster parasites, ahd today
are enjoying good health. So he de
cided he would give tt a trial: procured
one bottle on Wednesday night; com
menced taking according to directions
on bottle, and behold! on tha follow-in..
Saturday, about 11 o'clock, he expelled
a monster 78-foot tapeworm, head and
all complete, alive, and can be seen a-

be able to obtain the book* and paper,
to substantiate thla story, and to show
that Lorimer and TAwney were recelv.
Ing a percentage of fees paid to these
lobbylstt for congressional work. Glavls
represented he could obtain these books
from the wife of one of the member,
of the firm who Is now In Washington.
Glavie Took Paper’s Monty.
Mr. Keeley said he gave Glavls 1K-0
to go to Washington and get the books.
Then he telegraphed The Tribune's cor.
respondent in Washington to see Glavls
and make arrangements with him to
obtain the hook* and papers, and he
had 1800 sent to Washington to pav for
them. Subsequently the correspondent
turned over the 3800 to Glavie. The
matter dragged along and finally Kee
ley came to Washington. Glavie failed
to produce the books and approached
Keeley asking to withdraw from his
agreement and said he would refund thn
money. Thereupon Keeley Informed
him that unless he made good he would
have him Indicted for embeezlemcnt.
Glavls claimed he had turned the books
over to his brother, Edward Glavls. who
had taken them to West Virginia and
was having them examined. Finally
Keeley succeeded In rounding up Ed
ward Glavls, who said that he did not
know anything of them. Glavls failed
to produce the books and Keeley had
the Indictments returned against him
for embexzlement.

Keeley admitted that “Glavls had
been too clever for him.”
He told the atory to R. R. McCormick,
of The Tribune, he said. McCormick
laughed at him and said:
"Have you been buying the Masonic
